Bug Description

XP 32bit, Win7 64bit and Mac OS-X, newest Mixxx version.

files with German and Spanish characters are shown in library but can not be played reliable.

example (win7, 64bit, Mixxx 1.7.0-beta1)
Air_Concret__(Electro)(Tango)__Bajofondo_Tango_Club__Supervielle__09.wav is OK.
En_mi,Soledad__(Electro)(Tango)____Bajofondo_Tango_Club__02.wav is PROBLEM.
Los_Tangueros__(Electro)(Tango)____Bajofondo_Tango_Club__03.wav is PROBLEM.

All are shown in library but only the Air... file can be loaded in the player.
I don't understand why Los_Tangueros is not loaded.
But when I rename the files those can be loaded nicely.

I have problems with a file that contains the '?' character. It's
probably related. I'll try with the latest 1.8 code and see if it's
fixed.
